The pessimist will see a glass filled to the half-way mark with water as being
half empty, the optimist as being half full. And the optimistically creative
person will see it as a vase for a rosebud, the optimistic pragmatist as a
means of quenching thirst, the optimistic priest as water to bless for
baptism!
Consider the benefits of choosing the optimistic route as described in this
poem:
Two frogs feel into a deep cream bowl,
One was an optimistic soul;
But the other took the gloomy view,
"I shall drown, " he cried, "and so will you."
So with a last desparing cry,
He closed his eyes and said, "Good-bye."
But the other frog, with a merry grin
Said, "I can't get out, but I won't give in!
I'll swim around till my strength is spent.
For having tried, I'll die content."
Bravely he swam until it would seem
His struggles began to churn the cream.
On the top of the butter as last he stopped
And out of the bowl he happily hopped.
What is the moral? It's easly found.
If you can't get out--keep swimming around!
